I just wanted to ask if my monitor supports HDMI 2.0, as I wanna play at 144hz instead of 120hz, with a normal HDMI cable. 
My monitor is the Acer KG241P, here's a link: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/UM.FX1AA.P01
I hope that it does in fact, support it, as I connect to my laptop, which does not have a port where you connect a DP.

    Hello, not to be rude or anything, but did you get what I was saying? I heard that hdmi 2.0 supports 144hz, but some monitors do not support the hdmi 2.0, but only 1.3. My questions was if the monitor supports hdmi 2.0, as my laptop and PS4, unlike PCs, does not have a port where you plug a DP in. I hope I get a better answer. Thanks.

    This monitor only supports HDMI 1.4.

    Your PS4 maxes out at about 60fps so... getting anything more than 60Hz out of a monitor is pointless.

    Not sure about your laptop.

    As for HDMI 1.4: 
    1080p at 120Hz, then, would fit within even HDMI 1.4b's 340MHz pixel clock (1920 * 1080 = 2.07 million * 120 = 248 million pixels per second). There's more to it than that, though, and HDMI 1.4b simultaneously supports and does not support 1920x1080 at 120Hz. It supports the 120Hz 1080p throughput only for 3D processing, which it does by cloning the data packet for concurrent output to the display device. For 2D viewing – which is what almost all gamers mean when they want “120Hz” – HDMI 1.4b is stuck at just 60Hz for 1080p. This is commonly misunderstood in the HDMI 1.4b spec language.

    So, if you go to your advanced display properties and double check that it is running at 1080p @ 120Hz. That's as good as it is going to get since the monitor doesn't support more and the laptop may or may not support HDMI 2.0, but you should double check your specs before deciding on the right monitor because if your laptop doesn't even have HDMI 2.0 support on its GPU then... you could be shelling out more money for hardware you can't even actually use.

    I have an acer KA241 can it support a gtx 1660 super (connection type:vga,hdmi,dvi wise)?

    Depending on which KA241 model you have, you might have VGA, HDMI or DVI-D ports. The HDMI is v1.3 if installed, the DVI-D is dual channel if installed. Any of those will work with the GTX 1660, albeit not at the best performance the card can do.
